Bachmann: Improving economy ‘won’t take that long’

Posted on August 6th, 2011

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Michele Bachmann declared Friday “it won’t take that long” for her to start turning the ailing economy around as president as she competed against other GOP presidential rivals to build support ahead of a key GOP straw poll in Iowa next week.

Four of Bachmann’s opponents in the Aug. 13 straw poll in Ames — Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Thad McCotter— later took turns bashing President Obama’s record at a Republican Party dinner at a high school in Tiffin and pitching themselves as best suited to defeat him.

Earlier in the day in Newton, Bachmann told reporters the economy would start to improve almost immediately after she becomes president because she would implement conservative economic policies to slash the nation’s debt, stop tax increases and cut regulations.

“It won’t take that long if we send signals to the marketplace,” she said, standing by an earlier comment that the improvement would begin within the first quarter.

Phyllis Schlafly’s A Choice Not an Echo tells the inside story of how American Presidents are chosen. The book was written in 1964 and many copies were distributed at the expense of the author. The book tells the story of how the President of the United States is chosen by the Bilderbergers. The Bilderbergers also decide who will rule other Nations throughout the world.

Lift Ban on Consumers’ Right to KnowThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is keeping Americans in the dark about the health benefits of foods, vitamins and supplements. This is because the FDA’s Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits manufacturers from disclosing or distributing the results of scientific studies that show the health benefits of the foods, vitamins and dietary supplements they produce.

Romney Blurs the Line Between Establishment and Tea PartyFaced with growing grass-roots momentum for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney launched a charm offensive of sorts on Wednesday, casting himself as a friend of the tea party that otherwise probably would oppose him. Romney met with 25 steelworkers in northern New Hampshire and fielded a question about whether he considers himself a member of the tea party. “I don’t know that you sign a membership,” replied Romney. “What I consider myself is someone who is in sync with the tea party.” Read More

Is ‘End the Fed’ the newest platform for GOP?Is the Federal Reserve Bank and its Chairman Benjamin Bernanke the GOP’s newest target? It sure seems so, at least to two prominent Republicans vying for 2012: Tea Party candidate Michele Bachmann (R-Mn) and former Al Gore campaign manager, Democrat-turned-Republican Rick Perry. This week Texas Governor Perry raised media eyebrows when he railed against the Bernanke and the Fed. Criticizing the Central Bank’s Quantitative Easing measures, Perry said ...Read More

A Bad Week for Obama’s Policies“It’s only fair. That’s the principle I’ll be fighting for during the next phase of this process.” President Obama, August 2, 2011 What if you paid $38,000 to lease a house and were then told you cannot move in until some studies are done to determine if it is safe, but you do not get your money back? Years go by while the landlord is holding your money. That’s not fair! But this is exactly what the Obama administration has been doing to the oil and gas industry since May of 2010. The same Obama who is crisscrossing the country touting “fair.”Read More

Congressional Cowardice Sustains Ethanol SubsidiesAt this moment, $6 billion in annual federal subsidies continue to be paid to American farmers to grow corn for producing ethanol. The ethanol continues to be added to gasoline, creating a mixture which will damage vehicles’ engines and result in carbon emissions no lower than those produced by combusting the pure gasoline despised by eco-zealots. The subsidies–our tax money–have also fueled a doubling in corn prices during the worst recession since the Great Depression.Read More

U.S. Government Loaning $500M for Solar Power Projects (In India)
The U.S. Export-Import Bank, an independent agency of the federal government, says that it has $500 million in loans in the “pipeline” to fund new solar energy projects—in India. The $500 million in new loans will come on top of $75 million in financing that the Export-Import Bank has already provided this year for solar power projects in India. “In fiscal year 2011 to date, the Bank has approved financing totaling approximately $75 million for four solar projects in India,” the bank said in a July 18 press release. “The Bank also has about $500 million of India solar projects in the pipeline that will generate an estimated 315 MW of solar power.”

Yeah, I know, he's everyone's darling right now, especially when he talks about taking Bernanke up into the dock for Treason should he print more money.

I like that concept, but then again I'm a fan of the original Coinage Act - and it's penalties. If we had that in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 we'd either need to employ a professional black-hood-fitter for the National Mall or we'd not have had any inflation since 1913.

I'll take either outcome, figuring that the employment side will only be necessary a few times.

But when it comes to smaller government that's where Perry has to prove his chops, and he's got a problem there - specifically, Gardisil.

Read this piece from Michelle Malkin. She's spot on; Perry, through executive order, claiming to be inviolate even to legislative override, ordered every sixth grade girl in Texas to take a three-shot series of an unproven vaccine for a STD.

WASHINGTON (August 18, 2011) - There have been numerous recent proposals to increase the admission of skilled workers from abroad, such as the IDEA Act (HR 2161), introduced by Rep. Zoe Logren, ranking Democrat on the House immigration subcommittee. The premise of such proposals is that our country faces a shortage of skilled workers and that our current immigration system doesn't admit enough of them.

To assess these claims, the Center for Immigration Studies has published a paper examining some of the issues surrounding the question of skilled immigration. The paper, entitled 'Is There a Shortage of Skilled Foreign Workers?' is written by Center Fellow David North. The findings include:

There are about 10 million Americans with STEM degrees (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) not working in those fields.

Each year, some 200,000 additional skilled foreign workers are admitted through a variety of existing visa programs.

At least one million skilled nonimmigrant workers are in the United States at any one time.

The large majority of foreign PhD recipients already remain in the United States under current law.

In examining the details of proposals to increase skilled immigration it's clear that they would lead mainly to the admission of large numbers of unremarkable workers since those who truly are the 'best and brightest' already have ways of entering or staying in the U.S.

For a man with such big ears, Barack Hussein Obama isn't actually very good at listening. And a listening tour isn't going to change that.

Listening tours have become an obligatory stage of the early campaign, but their name is another degradation of meaning. Politicians don't conduct listening tours in order to listen to voters, but to have those voters listen to them. The occasional town hall meeting with its exchanges is the verbal version of a Letters to the Editor column. But does anyone pretend that a newspaper exists to listen to the readers?

Washington, DC, and Montgomery County, MD – two of the top destinations for illegal immigrants on the East Coast – will soon be joining the Secure Communities program to run inmates’ fingerprints against federal databases as part of an effort to deport ‘criminal’ illegal immigrants.

The District and Montgomery County have long clung to the belief that participation in the program is optional until Immigration and Customs Enforcement canceled all agreements with individual jurisdictions that were giving the impression.

Texas Governor Rick Perry officially joined the list of GOP hopefuls coveting the Republican bid for President in 2012 this past week following the Iowa debate.

Already, Gov. Perry is attempting to broaden his appeal to American Patriots and Tea Partiers alike by bashing the Obama Administration’s claim that the “border is safer than it’s ever been.”
This from the same man who does not support Arizona’s tough immigration law, snubbed the idea of a physical border fence as “ridiculous,” and who believes the deportation of 12 million illegal immigrants as an unviable option.

In what is perhaps a brave new threshold of grim irony for the Obama faction, a Department of Justice agency is being accused of obstructing justice. The ATF General Counsel has apparently sent threatening letters to witnesses, prompting Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to accuse the agency of interfering with a Congressional investigation.

The terror and death inflicted on humanity is not the work of radical Islam, neither the political Islam, nor the militant Islam. It is Islam, period. Get it? And the perpetrators are not fringe elements confined to brainwashed Saudis, loony Taliban, or some know--nothing Pakistanis who have hijacked Islam and are now in the business of mass murder. The latest project of the practitioners of the “religion of peace,” aimed to blowing planeloads of innocent civilians to smithereens in midair over the Atlantic, - ought to finally drive the point home: It is Islam, dummy. Get it?

Truthfully, I never thought I’d hear Barack Obama say anything more outrageous than his empty campaign promise of “hope and change.” But that was before I heard the six words he uttered to a room full of fellow Democrats the day after closing the debt-ceiling deal:

“WE’RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THERE YET.”

Read his lips: They’re not even halfway there.

Obama and the Democrats have presided over one of the most staggering spending binges in American history, ramming through an astonishing 21.4% in federal spending increase in two years...doubling the deficit...growing the national debt from 40% to 70% of the economy (a debt bigger than China’s entire economy)...ramming through ObamaCare...flushing away $821 billion in “stimulus” money...

Israel will stick to its refusal to apologize to Turkey for killing nine of its citizens aboard a Gaza-bound ship, anofficial said on Wednesday, dampening any prospects for reconciliation between the former allies.

The decision, which the official said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu conveyed to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a telephone call, was made days before the publication of the findings of a UN inquiry into the seizure of the Mavi Marmara last year.

Politeness is not saying certain things lest there be violence; civility is being able to say those certain things and there won’t be violence.

A recent series of polls indicate that European public opinion is substantially concerned by the increasingly aggressive Islam that their substantial immigrant populations have taken to expressing.

Allen West Says He's Harriet Tubman, Promises to Get Black People Off the "Plantation"Thu., Aug. 18 2011 at 8:41 AM
By Matthew Hendley

​ Always a fan of skewed historical references, Rep. Allen West went on Fox News yesterday to proclaim he's the "modern-day Harriet Tubman," and says he's the one that will get the nation's African-Americans off the "21st century plantation."

The "plantation" isn't a new reference for West, but being Harriet Tubman and taking black people on his "underground railroad" is a new one.

Obama’s Treaty by Executive OrderOne of the jobs of the President of the United States is to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…” (Art. 2, Section 3 Const.) However, when the President crosses over into creating law or directing the executive branch to act where no law has been authorized then the president has usurped power he does not have and thus has enacted an unconstitutional law – as I will show Barack Obama has done. Article 1 of the Constitution vests all legislative power in the Congress. This means that.....http://www.newswithviews.com/LeMieux/michael158.htm
